  1. Can I become a Nurse Practioner?

    I understood what you meant and agree your original comment is being deliberately skewed out of context. People who want to be offended will be. That's on them. Those who want to try to "get it" can grasp it without too much effort and without get...
  2. Prison job for female RN

    I have a friend who is a NP in a medium security state prison. She really likes it. She says the corrections officers are, by far, much more difficult and unpleasant to deal with than the inmates.

  5. ugh what to wear

    Oh dear. My fault for assuming too much. I'm an atheist. I thought people wore dress clothes to church. I don't think I really need to be specific about what is implied, do I?

    I think if you don't want a flu shot you have every to refuse, so long as you take a job that does not put patients at risk.
  14. Politcally incorrect rant aka how my day went

    I guess I'm too well educated to understand most of that, but I can assure you that today's health care crisis predates the Obama administration.
  15. It depends on a million and one confounding factors. Short answer, yes. I was the manager of 34 ICU beds and 125+ RNs with an ADN 20 years ago, when I had been a nurse for 5 years. I look back now and think holy cow, what was I/were they thinking...
